Ch i O nN od OXd (Glory of the Snow) 
The Chionodoxa is one of the most beautiful Spring flowers, and when established, its sheets 
of blue in very early Spring, are a great attraction in the gardens. They are quite hardy and most 
valuable for naturalizing. 
Once planted it comes up year after year, while the flower-spikes increase in size and beauty. 
The Chionodoxa may also be brought into bloom in a cold frame or cool greenhouse, close to the glass.

Choice Large-Flowered Crocus 
When planted two or three inches apart in squares, the many flowers each bulb produces, 
will thickly cover the whole plot. In lawns and pleasure parks, planted in grass, they are extremely 
effective. They are also very fine for forcing but should be forced slowly in an airy situation. 
Crocuses should not be planted too deeply but only covered. We have discarded a great many 
varieties in favor of better ones. 
COLLECTIONS OF CROCUS 
ie" Something very outstanding to have in bloom in pots during winter, is a 
collection of our choice large flowered Crocus. Plant thickly in pots immediately 
on receipt and plunge the pots in peat fibre or ashes. Crocuses cannot stand 
artificial heat and should be grown as cool as possible and given water freely 
when removed from the plunging bed. If the temperature is too high they will go 
blind. These collections can, of course, also be used for more liberal plantings in 
the garden.
